Chapter 306: He's Dead
Hao Minyuan glanced at each other again, although the two of them didn't say anything, they had a clear understanding at this time.
Hao Minyuan immediately took out the photo from his pocket and handed it over.
"Uncle, what did you see back then?"
Lao Sinan may have Parkinson's disease, took the photo with a trembling hand, only glanced at it, and was full of excitement, and the photo fell to the ground, and the person sat on his back.
"That's right! Right! Right! That's the cat! It's a cat! It's a devil who lives deep in the mountains and forests according to our local legends! β
Hao Minyuan poured a glass of water for Lao Sinan, lit a cigarette, and the old man took half of it before he slowly spoke......
At that time, he was only twenty-five or sixteen years old, although he was young, but he had been a tour guide in this area for ten years, he was experienced, and he was also a little famous, and the price was of course the highest in his peers.
It was three or five days after the beginning of autumn, and it happened that it was also introduced by the work of a nearby hotel.
There were more than a dozen people here, all of whom looked polite.
The opening is 1,000 yuanβa thousand yuan, which was equivalent to two years' income for a peasant family forty years ago.
At that time, Lao Sinan was still Xiao Sinan, although he had a good business in his peers, he had never taken over such a big business, and when he heard about a thousand yuan, he was already moved.
But then he heard where this group of people were going, and he was still a little frightened in his heart.
For a while, it was as if there were two villains arguing in his mind, one persuaded him to agree quickly, a thousand yuan is not a small amount, how could he miss such a good opportunity to make money, and the other persuaded him not to go, because the place they were going to was the depths of the 100,000 mountains, which was a "forbidden place for the living" in the local area.
Passed down from ancestors:
"100,000 mountains, millions of forests, stuffed in the rain, souls in the fog, and those who see it are not people."
Because Shunkou is passed on by word of mouth, I don't know if it's right or not, and no one has explained what it means, but all tour guides know it. One of the meanings of Shunkou's existence is to remind everyone not to enter the mountains and forests, let alone get close to the mysterious village in the hinterland of the 100,000 mountains.
Coupled with some tragic real people and real things in the local area in recent decades, within a radius of several hundred miles, for 100,000 mountains, it can be said that the color of the talk has changed.
Therefore, no one dares to step into the depths of the mountains and forests......
In the end, Lao Sinan chose to earn this thousand yuan, with experience and understanding of this mountain, they went on the road, and spent two days and one night to come to a place with beautiful mountains and rivers, at this time, there were bursts of sharp cat meows all around, and then he saw the most unforgettable scene in his life, of course, it has become a lingering nightmare in the past forty years.
He saw a black cat twice as big as a normal cat, and to his horror, the cat had a human face.
Immediately, several such black-faced cats jumped out from all around, all of them gradually surrounding them like little tigers.
There is a legend about the cat in the local area for a long time, and the old Sinan was half-convinced before, but when he saw it with his own eyes, he was so frightened that the three souls and seven spirits flew away.
The next ten minutes were a nightmare, the cat was very fierce, attacking everyone with its mouth and sharp claws, and suddenly there was a wail, trying to escape, but where else could escape.
Lao Sinan was so frightened that he hid under a tree, and he escaped in a daze, but his shoulders and legs were still scratched by cat's paws, and he lost consciousness.
When he woke up, he saw only corpses scattered all around, each of which was bloody and miserable.
After coming out of the mountains and forests, it took Lao Sinan several years to gradually overcome the psychological obstacles left by this experience, and although he also worked as a tour guide, he never dared to step into the 100,000 mountains again, even if the other party gave him more money.
Since he came out of the mountains and forests, Lao Sinan always felt that his shoulders and legs were in pain from time to time, especially since ten years ago, he felt that the pain in his legs became more and more frequent and severe, and soon he gradually couldn't walk normally, and then it became like this.
It should be because of seeing the cat in the photo again, Lao Sinan slumped to the Eight Immortals chair, his face was as white as paper, he gasped and told the two of us that the place where they were attacked by the cat should be not far from the legendary village that only appeared in the heavy rain.
This village should be Chonggu Miao Village.
At that time, he was leading the expedition team forward while marking the map, so this map is very practical and precious, and for the 100,000 mountains, there should not be a second map like this.
"I ...... Even if I wanted to lead the way, I would ...... I also have more than enough heart but not enough power...... You've seen it too...... I'm going to give you this map...... I can see that you ...... You won't listen to me, I hope the map can help you! β
Thank you goodbye to Lao Sinan, we went back to the hotel and talked to Mr. Feng about this, Mr. Feng was also surprised, and stood up with a "poof", insisting that we take him to find Lao Sinan.
"Teacher Feng, let's go again tomorrow! Tomorrow morning, I'll go to the supermarket to buy something...... If you just come back, and then go back right after, it's not good! β
Teacher Feng nodded: "It seems that it is right to come to Zhangjiajie this time!" Forty years! This incident is like a thorn in my heart, and if I don't pull it out, I feel uncomfortable gasping for breath. β
Because they were on a plane or a train before, several people were very tired, so they each lay down on the bed and chatted casually, and fell asleep unconsciously.
"Bang bang bang!"
After being woken up by a knock on the door, I opened my eyes and saw that it was pitch black outside the window
"Get up and finish eating!"
Wu Yuhui's voice came from outside.
I picked up my phone and glanced at it, and it was half past seven.
A few people discussed going out to eat at dinner, since they came to the tourist resort Zhangjiajie, no matter what it was! It can't be in vain.
A taste of the local food is still necessary!
I found a small restaurant that looked very elegant, and ordered a few dishes that I hadn't even heard of by name, and the four of us thought it was okay, but Mr. Feng was not used to eating, he had a light taste, and the dishes in this restaurant obviously had the characteristics of ethnic minorities, spicy, and a lot of peppers were put in each dish.
I didn't say anything all night, and I had breakfast on the second floor of the hotel at seven o'clock the next day, and I discussed that after eating, I would go to the supermarket opposite the hotel to buy some gifts, and then go to Lao Sinan's house, which could be regarded as thanks, or to help Mr. Feng fulfill his wishes.
Coincidentally, it was the old Tujia man who told us Lao Sinan's address yesterday.
"Thank you! Uncle. β
The old man laughed: "Thank you?" β
"Thank you for introducing us to Lao Sinan!"
The old man wiped his hands on his apron and sighed: "Don't go to him!" β
"Ahh Why? β
"This morning, half an hour ago, he was found dead in his home, and I heard that the death was very strange, that he was sitting in a chair and that he was still smiling...... At this time, it is estimated that the people from the police station have not left yet! β
Shocked, Hao Minyuan and I stood up on the spot.
"What do you say! He...... He's dead? β
The old man nodded: "I passed the intersection on my way to work just now, listen."
